Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I would like a female buddy...



Recommended Posts

Hi, I live in Colorado and am looking for someone to be a buddy with. I've posted on other boards before and haven't had a whole lot of luck.

A little about me, I am 26 and was recently banded with a Realize band on 10/2/08. At my doctor's office yesterday I have so far lost 19 pounds. I have been married for 2 and 1/2 years now and do not have any children yet.

If anyone is interested and is ready to be accountable with me, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hey,

I would like a buddy to keep me accountable too. I am from washington, but i got banded by dr. kirshenbaum in denver. I am currently in denver today for my 2nd fill.

It looks like we started out pretty much the same weight. how tall are you?

Sweet! I am only 2 weeks post-op, but it sucks not having someone to talk to (because I am the only one I know with a band) about stuff sometimes. I am 6' tall, how tall are you? You look really great in your pictures BTW. You have made some really great progress!! :) How many CC's do you have in your band now? Do you always come here to Denver to get your fills or have you gone to a fill center where you live?

If you want, you can PM me and then our convo isn't so public... :rolleyes2: Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sorry if I misspell (did I even spell "misspell" right? ha-ha) things, but the spell check on here sucks and I don't want to download somthing from a 3rd party website.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
